Made
sisters
by marriage but not by choice, the bond between Lora and Alice is
marred by envy and mistrust. Spurred by inconsistencies in Alice’s
personal history and possibly jealous of Alice’s hold on her brother, Lora finds herself lured into the dark
alleys and mean streets of seamy 1950s Los Angeles. Assuming the role
of amateur detective, she uncovers a shadowy world of drugs,
prostitution and ultimately murder.
Lora’s
fascination with Alice’s “sins” increases in direct proportion to the
escalation of her own relationship with Mike Standish, a charmingly
amoral press agent who appears to know more about his old friend Alice
than he reveals. The deeper Lora digs to uncover Alice’s secrets, the
more her own life begins to resemble Alice’s sinister past—and
present.
Steeped in
atmospheric suspense and voyeuristic appeal,
Die a Little
shines as a dark star among Hollywood lights.
